Darcy Leigh Graham (née Bishop)
February 20, 1968 – September 25, 2024
With profound sadness, we announce the peaceful passing of Darcy Leigh Graham, surrounded by love and family at home on September 25, 2024. Darcy will be deeply missed by her loving husband, Bruce, and her cherished children, Holly and Fisher.
She is survived by her sister Tracy Campbell, brother Douglas Bishop, brother-in-law Mark Campbell, brother-in-law Adam Pankhurst, nephews Morgan Campbell and Rob Scott, and niece Kaitlyn Scott. Darcy was predeceased by her parents, Doug and Ann Bishop, and her sister-in-law, Susan Scott.
Darcy’s life was a vibrant tapestry of love, art, and adventure. Her infectious joie de vivre, creative spirit, and generous heart touched countless lives. As a devoted mother, wife, friend, and artist, she leaves behind a legacy of warmth, kindness, and beauty.
Born with a spark, Darcy illuminated the world around her. Her artistic passions included painting, pottery, and design. She had a unique gift for finding beauty in everyday objects and transforming them into something extraordinary. Her artwork reflected her zest for life and her deep love for the people and world around her.
Darcy cherished her lifelong friendships formed during her childhood in Brockville, Ontario, and at Brentwood College on Vancouver Island. Her remarkable journey was filled with memorable moments from her escapades at Lake of the Woods, to her sorority days at McGill University, to her artistic explorations at Savannah College of Art and Design.
Darcy’s spirit will continue to inspire all who knew her. As her loved ones recall, Darcy was “a dreamer, an artist, and a true original.” Her love for life’s simple pleasures – sharing stories, cooking, and savoring wine on the deck – brought joy to all around her.
The family extends their gratitude to the compassionate staff at Royal Jubilee Hospital in Victoria and Lady Minto Hospital on Salt Spring Island for their care and kindness.
Memories and notes of condolence may be shared at Haywards Funeral Home.
